The only thing different about the crystal angelic statue was the addition of Izual. Abel couldn't think of any other reason why the crystal angelic statue was strengthened.
Yes, the crystal angelic statue was strengthened. It was even stronger than when he was in his giant dragon transformation mode.
At least when he was in his giant dragon transformation mode, he couldn't see the soul of the dead Knight with his eyes. Now, he could see the white light coming out of the crystal angelic statue and taking in the soul of the dead knight.
Abel looked at the corpses of the holy Knights on the battlefield. They were all dead. Their souls were long gone before he came.
The only one that was still alive was an intermediate Knight. It was only because of Abel's luck that he met him.
Wizard Hutton saw Abel standing there for a while, "What's wrong, Master Bennett?"
"Wizard Hutton, I didn't expect the Evil Kingdom to be so well-prepared!" Abel lowered his voice and pointed at the pieces of war machines in front of them.
Wizard Hutton couldn't help but curse, "Yeah, the Evil Kingdom knows too much about us. Other than me, all the higher-ups of the dwarves are cleaning up the Iron Furnace Fort. We must find the bastard who betrayed us."
The reason why the Dwarves could stand strong in the Central Continent was because of their unity. The Dwarves were even more united than the other races.
Now that there was a traitor among the dwarves, it was a shame to the dwarves.
Wizard Hutton was the only law-defying wizard that was cleaning up the battlefield. The rest of the law-defying wizards were probably looking for the traitor in the city.
In this world, it wasn't impossible to find a traitor in a heavily guarded city. It just took a lot of effort.
Take the Iron Furnace Fort for example. There was a city spirit. Almost every dwarf that went in and out of the Iron Furnace Fort would have a detailed record of when and where they went.
As long as they compared the tracks of every suspicious person, it was possible to find the traitor.
Still, it was a lot of work. If it was done by normal dwarves, it would take a long time.
On the other hand, wizards with powerful power of the will, especially law-defying wizards, could directly connect with the city spirit and compare the information. This would greatly increase the chances of finding the traitor.
"The dwarves have completely stopped the evil knights from entering the city. The Iron Furnace Fort is the city that suffered the least damage from the evil knights' attacks!" Abel couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the dwarves when he saw that only a section of the city wall and some buildings were damaged.
Wizard Hutton smiled, "You're right, Master Benech. The sky ships are surprisingly effective. The invaders are running away after a few rounds of attacks."
The elves' attack on Bay Law City wasn't that big of a loss, but the outskirts of the city suffered a lot. Just the Druil alone killed more than a thousand people.
In the Battlecry City, the number of dead Barbarians was hard to count. Just the soul beams of the elite Barbarians were enough to light up the entire city.
The dwarves' Iron Furnace Fort was not damaged at all. It was not on the same level as the previous two attacks.
Still, Abel knew that there wasn't a single soul beam here. The highest level of holy Knight corpses on the ground was only an intermediate holy knight. The battle probably ended with the holy Knight retreating before the two sides even clashed.
Wizard Hutton looked around and said to Abel, "Master Bennett, let's go to my place. Bernie is there as well."
Wizard Hutton's residence was at the top of the mountain. Frankenstein, Abel, and Big Druid Joseph followed Wizard Hutton to the top of the mountain.
"Master Bennett, Wizard Frankenstein, Joseph the Big Druil, please!" They went straight to the yard, and Wizard Hutton made an inviting gesture and invited them into the hall.
"Master Bennett, how come you have time to come?" Bernie walked out of the hall and yelled in surprise.
Abel saw Bernie's rank and smiled, "You're a rank 3 wizard now, Bernie. Not bad."
Bernie quickly waved his hand, "Don't make fun of me."
Although he couldn't tell Abel's identity as a wizard, he knew how long it took Abel to become an official wizard. If he had the time to train, Abel would've become an official wizard a long time ago.
Abel remembered that the gift he prepared was still with Joseph the Big Druil, so he turned around and made a gesture to Joseph.
"Bernie, this is Joseph. He's my follower." Abel introduced Joseph the Big Druil and then turned to Joseph the Big Druil, "Joseph, give Bernie the gift."
Joseph the Big Druil smiled and took out the portal jug, "This is a gift from Master Bennett."
"It's a jug!" Bernie happily took the jug and inspected it, "This one doesn't look as comfortable as the one I had before. There are too many patterns on it."
Abel couldn't help but stare, "Give it back if you don't want it, Bernie."
"How is that possible? This is my gift in return. I remember it!" Bernie said as he clutched the spatial flask tightly.
Abel smiled, "I know you're meditating, Bernie. The wine in here is enough for you to become an official wizard."
Bernie finally noticed the portal jug. He reached his power of the Will into it, and his eyes widened. 50 cubic meters. Even a normal portal object would be huge, let alone a jug.
Only someone like Abel could get a portal object like this without much effort.
Although the portal jug was not a precious treasure, it was still a treasure of the elven royal family. It was a godly object for those who loved to drink.
"Haha, so much wine!" Bernie saw all 50 cubic meters of wine, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
He couldn't wait to open the jug and pour a mouthful of wine into his mouth. He slowly let the grandmaster wine swirl in his mouth, and a refreshing feeling spread from his soul to his body.
What a familiar taste. It was even better than the grandmaster wine he drank in the Holy Continent.
These grandmaster wines were better than the ones in the Holy Continent, of course.
Back in the Holy Continent, Abel used regular rum as a raw material, but back in the Central Continent, he used the best wine he could get from the Judson Family.
Back in the Holy Continent, the grandmaster wine and the master wine happened to run into a food shortage. There wasn't even enough food in the Holy Continent, so there was no way Abel could synthesize good wine.
Therefore, the grandmaster wine he synthesized this time was better than the ones in the Holy Continent.
Abel didn't want Bernie to become an alcoholic, so he reminded him, "This wine is for your training, Bernie."
Wizard Hutton sniffed with his nose. He was sure that this wine was not something he had ever tasted before, but considering Master Bennett's status and the fact that he would give something like this to a friend, he could tell that it was not something simple.
"Huh, what wine is this?" He asked curiously. Then, a white light flashed in his hand as he activated telekinesis. Before Bernie could react, the wine jug was already in his hand.
"Teacher, that's mine!" Bernie yelled, but he quickly shut his mouth when he saw Wizard Hutton staring at him.
Wizard Hutton took a sip out of the portal flask, and he immediately felt something strange. This unknown wine gave him a strange feeling in his soul. It was an indescribable sense of comfort.
He was a law-defying wizard, after all. Anything that could affect his soul had to be extremely precious. The effect of a sip of wine was already comparable to a treasure of heaven and earth.
As a dwarf, he had a natural fondness for wine, but he was also a wizard. As soon as he sensed the effect of this wine, he knew what it was for.
He didn't care about the others around him. It didn't matter if it was Master Bennett, his two followers, or his disciple Bernie. None of them were a threat to his safety.
Just like that, he sat down on the ground without a care and began to meditate.
Even when he was meditating, he held the portal jug tightly in his hand.
"Master Bennett!" Bernie looked at Abel with a bit of complaint. Abel knew what he was trying to say.
Still, Abel couldn't just interfere with the business between him and Wizard Hutton. If it was someone else who took his portal jug, Abel would definitely do something. This was his teacher, after all.
Wizard Hutton would leave some leftovers for Bernie in the end. It wasn't that hard to make the grandmaster's wine, anyway. It was just a matter of time.
The reason why he brought Big Druil Joseph here today was so that he could give something to Bernie in the future. He wanted to let Bernie know more about this Druil Joseph.
Abel's identity was a bit troublesome. If it wasn't for the Iron Furnace Fort, he would've alerted King Gunther of the dwarves.
Abel asked casually, "Are you sure about your main element, Bernie?"
"Us dwarves are basically fire elemental. According to my teacher, our fire elemental inheritance is the most complete. We can go straight to the legendary level!" Bernie said proudly. He was also interested in the topic of magic.
"Fire spells? I'll give you a magic staff!" As he spoke, he took out the rune word "leaf" magic staff from his holy portal bag and gave it to Bernie.
Bernie knew about Abel's other identity. He was a grandmaster blacksmith. Back in the Holy Continent, Abel used his ability to make magic staffs to become a grandmaster blacksmith.
There was no need to be polite with Abel. He knew that Abel was the emperor of a powerful kingdom in the Holy Continent. He had a lot of good stuff in his hands.
He took the rune word 'leaf' and scanned it with his power of the Will. He found something different about this magic staff.
"Master Bennett, how come there's no rune on this staff? You're not giving me a stick, are you?" Bernie waved the "leaf" rune staff a few times in the air. It wasn't that bad to hit someone like this.
Abel was speechless at Bernie's ignorance, "Try the fire spells you learned, Bernie."
It wasn't Bernie's fault. He had just become a rank 3 wizard, and he didn't have the ability to notice the uniqueness of the leaf as soon as he got it.
Hearing this, Bernie used the leaf in his right hand to draw a "fireball" spell pattern in the air.
However, something unexpected happened. Just as he was about to draw the 'fireball' spell pattern, the 'fireball' spell pattern automatically formed. Then, the 'fireball' took shape. He couldn't help but be startled, so he threw the 'fireball' out without any purpose.
He had just learned the "fireball" spell not long ago, and he was just getting familiar with the rune. Normally, it would take him two seconds to draw a "fireball" rune, which was already something Wizard Hutton would brag about.
However, when he was about to use the "fireball" rune, the "fireball" rune appeared on the front of his magic staff. Afterward, the mana in his body was automatically channeled in, and the "fireball" was formed.
Bernie yelled, "I instant-cast a" fireball "spell!"
Wizard Hutton roared, "Are you trying to kill me, Bernie?"
Wizard Hutton was meditating, but he wasn't really in a complete state. He was just testing his own thoughts.
When he sensed that Bernie was about to throw a "fireball" at him, he casually blocked it with his power of the Will. He thought that Bernie's rank 1 "fireball" would explode as soon as it made contact with his power of the Will. It wouldn't even reach him.
However, the "leaf" rune added a full six ranks to Bernie's "fireball" spell. That, in addition to his own rank 1, made the "fireball" a rank 7 "fireball."
Originally, a rank 7 "fireball" shouldn't have been able to do anything to Wizard Hutton, but Wizard Hutton's control of his power of the Will was too precise. The power of the Will he used was just enough to ignite a rank 1 "fireball," but it wasn't enough to ignite a rank 7 "fireball."
As a result, the rank 7 "fireball" exploded on Wizard Hutton's body. With his fire resistance, even a rank 7 "fireball" wouldn't be able to hurt him, let alone a rank 7 one.
Still, there was a hole in his clothes when he realized something was wrong. He forcefully used his power of the Will to block the rest of the fireball's power of the Will.
When Abel and Bernie looked over, Wizard Hutton was quickly using his power of the Will to change his clothes. Still, they could see how messed up Wizard Hutton was.
